ArtMan is on a distinguished road
So I would like to update my situation thus far.

The flex disc is just fine no issues its not even worn out....looks brand new and no play at least from visual and trying to move it around inspection by mechanic.

my tires were new but goodyear brand and i noticed a lot of bulges/lines on teh side wall so they rebalanced teh wheels and things improved a bit and after a week the vibration came back. looks that the tires are not wearing evenly.

so put new front breaks and today returned the goodyear tires for upgrade to the michelin energy mxv4 tires.

so when driving up to 60 everything is fine. if you floor it to 80 the steering starts to shake as you floor it once you let go allow the car to cruise around 75-80 the whole car vibrates yet again.

like i said front suspension has been inspected twice now and there is no play anywhere. the wheels dont seem to be bent...but i will ask discount tires to do roadforce balance and see how that goes afterwards.

so any suggestions as to what else i should do?

only thing i can do is replace the front end components one more time but thats another 600 dollars...
